Monthly VFACTS figures are iffy, here's why:

[turbodewd]

Commodore base model Omega price: $32,000
Mazda 3 base model, Neo, price: $22,000

December 2011 VFACTS, top 3:

1 Toyota Corolla – 3619
2 Mazda3 – 3325
3 Holden Commodore – 2814

Turbodewd's Dec 11 VFACTS by value:

Commodore - $90,048,000 (sales x price)
Mazda 3 - $73,150,000

So as you can see you can make stats say anything. Large car segment is more valuable. Of course they will sell less compared to the Mazda 3, the commdore is 50% dearer coz u get a bigger, more powerful car which can tow and seat 5 in greater space than the smaller mazda 3. I would also rather be in a commodore rather than a mazda 3 if I was to suffer a bingle.

If only that Fairfax journo twit and traitor Joshua Dowling would publish these stats too.

Commodore and Falcon sales are fine. Falcon loses some sales to the Terri so really you can add those together for the health of Ford Oz and now the Terri is kicking posterior!
